Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for use in controlling the transmission power in a mobile radio satellite communication system.
  • a satellite communication system which effects the channel access of a single channel per carrier (SCPC)/frequency division multiple access (FDMA) system based on a demand assignment will be described first.
  • a satellite communication system of the type mentioned which normally includes a network control station 11, which manages and controls the communications system, gateway stations 12 each connected to public switched telephone networks (PSTN), or private telephone networks, terminals and mobile stations (hereinafter referred to as terminals/mobile stations) 13, through which users access the satellite communications network, and a communication satellite 14.
  • PSTN public switched telephone networks
  • terminals/mobile stations terminals and mobile stations
  • the network control station 11 supervises the entire network and successively transmits channel signalling information by time division multiplex (TDM) communication using a forward link (also called an outbound link).
  • TDM communication includes information regarding an incoming call and the channel communication used.
  • Each of the gateway stations 12 and the terminal/mobile stations 13 receives information transmitted thereto by the time division multiplex communication and effects a call request and responds to an incoming call based on the received information using a return link (inbound).
  • the return link is used for the transmission of a call request and an incoming call response burst signal transmitted from each of the gateway stations 12 and the terminal/mobile stations 13 in a predetermined time slot, in accordance with the line information of the time division multiplex communication in a time division multiple access (TDMA).
  • TDMA time division multiple access
  • the network control station 11 receives a call request and an incoming call response signal transmitted from one of the gateway stations 12 and one of the terminal/mobile stations 13 (including an indirect case wherein a terminal or a mobile station transmits a call request to a gateway station and then the gateway station transmits a channel assignment request), then it informs the gateway station 12 and the terminal/mobile station 13 of an available communication channel over a signalling channel 15. Then, when the gateway station 12 and the terminal/mobile station 13 receive the designated communication channel, they set the channel so that a communication channel 16 is thereafter used in place of the signalling channel 15. Then, through a predetermined sequence, the terminal/mobile station 13 is connected to a PSTN or private switched network (PSTN)/private switched network 17) through the communication satellite 14 and the gateway station 12.
  • PSTN public switched network
  • the signalling channel 15 which carries control information in such a sequence of channel connection operations as is described above, communicates the control information, normally using a prescribed maximum transmission level as a standard level, so that a call connection can be effected stably, even in a geographical condition in which the elevation angle is small (which is the most critical communication condition in call connection), in order to ensure a high degree of reliability of the communication system.
  • the transmission level is adjusted so as to minimize any interference with another communication channel and allow the most efficient utilization of the power of the satellite. Further, in a mobile terminal which is driven by a battery, the power dissipation is minimized by such transmission level control to allow utilization for a long time.
  • the transmission powers of the gateway station 12 and the terminal/mobile station 13 of the communication system described above are each controlled by an apparatus such as is shown in Fig. 4.
  • the apparatus shown includes a transmission power controller 1 for controlling the transmission power of a modulation signal frequency converted by a frequency converter not shown, a power amplifier 2 for amplifying the power of an output of the transmission power controller 1 to a predetermined transmission power, and outputting the amplified power signal to an antenna not shown, a level detector 3 for detecting the output level of the power amplifier 2, a comparator 6 for comparing the transmission level detected by the level detector 3 with a preset transmission reference level to obtain any error in the level and an averaging circuit 9 for averaging the error of the level from the comparator 6 and controlling the transmission power controller 1 with the averaged level error.
  • a transmission power controller 1 for controlling the transmission power of a modulation signal frequency converted by a frequency converter not shown
  • a power amplifier 2 for amplifying the power of an output of the transmission power controller 1 to a predetermined transmission power, and outputting the amplified power signal to an antenna not shown
  • a level detector 3 for detecting the output level of the power amplifier 2
  • a comparator 6
  • the transmission level is set to the maximum standard transmission level, and the level of a transmission signal detected by the level detector 3 during transmission is compared with the preset transmission level value by the comparator 6 to obtain a level error.
  • the level error of the detected level from the preset transmission reference level is averaged by the averaging circuit 9. Then, the transmission power is controlled so that, if the detected transmission signal level is higher than the preset transmission level value, then the transmission signal level may be decreased, but if the detected transmission signal level is lower than the preset transmission level, then the decrease of the transmission signal level may be decreased.
  • a channel is assigned in response to the channel assignment request in the signalling channel 15, and communication via the communication channel 16 is started.
  • the terminal/mobile station 13 and the gateway station 12 individually measure the levels of the received signals, set optimum transmission levels for the operation of the system and control the transmission powers thereof.
  • Such a control is disclosed, for example, in the specification of Japanese Patent Laid-Open Application No. Heisei 8-237194.
  • the transmission power control for the signalling channel 15 is performed in a similar manner to that for the communication channel 16, except that the preset transmission level values set for the comparators are different.
  • the transmission signal level is then set to the standard maximum transmission level, but it is controlled, upon transmission, to the predetermined transmission power by the operation described above.
  • the transmission level of a station When, after communication over the communication channel has been started the transmission level of a station is to be decreased to a lower level, because the received level of the other station is sufficiently high, it is varied at a rate which can be followed up sufficiently so that synchronization can be maintained on the reception side against a variation in amplitude or phase.
  • the transmission level is set to the standard highest transmission level in preparation for next transmission.
  • a control signal burst such as a call request or an incoming call response
  • the top of the burst is transmitted with the level controlled to the lower level over the communication channel and the burst is started while the transmission level is controlled so as to increase it to the highest level.
  • a power to noise power ratio of a carrier required by the communication system is not obtained and this can give rise to a problem in synchronization acquisition or in data transmission.
  • a top portion of a burst includes a training sequence and/or a unique word for carrier synchronization and/or clock synchronization and plays an important role in the transmission of a data part.
  • the transmission level control response over the signalling channel is made faster, so as to allow quick convergence to a predetermined transmission level, in order to eliminate the problem described above, then the problem may possibly occur that, when the transmission level is controlled after the reception level information of the other station is received over the communication channel, the frame synchronization of the other station cannot be maintained, or that the transmission power control becomes unstable.
  • Such problems are significant particularly where the transmission level control step is large.
  • JP 08 279 768 and US 5697074 disclose a power control loop for a radio frequency transmitter which includes a power control amplifier, an output and a detector that is coupled to the output for providing an output power signal indicative of output power from the power control loop.
  • a controller generates at least first and second reference signals and a differential amplifier provides a control output that is indicative of a difference between the output power signal and a reference signal.
  • a dual rate filter couples the control output to the power control amplifier so as to vary its gain and the dual rate filter exhibits a fast-reacting filter mode when the controller changes the reference signals to the differential amplifier and a slow-reacting filter mode when the controller applies the first reference signal to the differential amplifier.
  • the fast filter mode enables rapid feedback of the control output to the power control amplifier.
  • EP 06 88 108 discloses a transmission power control circuit for controlling a power level of a transmission signal comprising a variable attenuator for adjusting the amplitude level of an input signal, a detection circuit for detecting an amplitude of the transmission signal via a branch circuit, a reference voltage source for generating a reference voltage associated to a predetermined level of the transmission signal to be transmitted, a comparator for comparing the reference and detection voltages, a clock generator, an up/down counter for up or down counting pulses of a clock output from the clock generator, a D/A converter for converting the count value of the counter, and a control circuit.
  • the comparator subjects the counter to the up or down counting operation when the detection voltage is less or larger than the reference voltage to provide an attenuation control signal to the attenuator through the D/A converter so that attenuation level is adjusted, whereby the detection voltage substantially coincides with the reference voltage.
  • the control circuit controls the reference voltage source to vary the level of said reference voltage in accordance with the transmission signal and controls the clock generator to generate the clock having a high frequency during a transition period of the reference voltage and a low frequency during the reference voltage being kept substantially constant, whereby change of the transmission power level can be executed at a relatively high speed without interference for the adjacent channels.

  • the averaging means may include discrimination means for discriminating a polarity of the error obtained by said comparison means, and averaging means for averaging error levels whose average sample number is controlled in accordance with the polarity of the error.
